NY Primary: Trump-Bashing vs. Progressive Reforms

0:00It's March 30th, Adelaide News Today starts now. AI powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. In New York's 10th congressional district, a primary showdown between Rep Dan Goldman and former city controller Brad Lander is cracking open old. Rifts in the Democratic Party. Both call themselves progressives and hate Trump. But the race boils down to this, is slamming Trump enough, or do dims need to fight bigger battles. Like wealth inequality and corporate power? Goldman kicked off his campaign on the 5th anniversary of January 6th, leaning hard on his role in the first Trump impeachment probe. Lander, a longtime organizer, pushes for bolder chains beyond just defending norms. Across the party, you see two camps, one defending the old status quo against Trump, often wealthier folks cool with how things were. The other wants to harness anti-Trump energy for real left-leaning reforms, challenging the security state and big money.

1:00Goldman's record raises eyebrows. He voted for a bill letting the executive label nonprofits as terror supporters with little oversight, backed. Warnless FISA surveillance support a crypto deregulation three times favoring billionaires and push financial rules easing risks on every day. Savers. On foreign policy, he censured Rashida Tlaib, funded Israel aid against most Dems, and hit the International Criminal Court. This primary test, if defensive Trump bashing cuts it anymore, or if Dems must build an offense against the powers that fueled his rise-watched shape. The party's future path.
